Are you descended from a Cherokee Indian princess? Was your ancestor a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War? Everyone has family legends and stories passed down through the generations, and it can be challenging to determine whether these stories are fact or fiction. At this workshop, learn what types of records and resources can help you verify the folklore in your family tree. The instructor will be Dr. Daniel Rolph, PhD in folklore and folklife and the resident historian for HSP. Dr. Rolph is also the author of To Shoot, Burn, and Hang: Folk History from a Kentucky Mountain Family and Community. Attendees are asked to come with a family legend to share with the group, or e-mail their stories in advance to Dr. Rolph at drolph@hsp.org. Cost includes a one-day admission to HSP's research library.
